Jagan Case: Court Reserves Decision on ED Petition

The CBI Special Court at Nampally reserved its decision on Enforcement Directorate's (ED) petition seeking court's permission to interrogate YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in his disproportionate aseets case. The Kadapa MP and YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently lodged in Chanchalguda jail and the ED wants to quiz him about the flow of foreign funds in to his business establishments.

CBI Special Court Judge U Durga Prasada Rao heard arguements of both the parties and posted the case for judgement to 6 July, 2012. Earlier, Jagan's counsel had filed the counter vehemently opposing the ED's plea to grill the Kadapa MP. The counsel argued that Jagan was no longer the Chairman of Director of Jagathi Publications Limited into which the CBI had alleged firms and individuals had invested funds in return for lands during the tenure of Jagan Mohan Reddy's father late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's regime as the chief minister.
 
The Court, on June 28, had adjourned the hearing of the case to July 2 on CBI's charge of alleged violation of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) against Jagan. He was arrested on May 27 and was lodged in Chanchalguda jail here after his judicial remand was extended till July 4. The ED has already questioned nine accused in the illegal assets case, Emaar Case and Illegal mining case against Jagan in the Chanchalguda Jail. 

 

 

 

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
